This hex summons a wisp that runs one step of the game every 4 ticks (adjust by replacing the number literal at index 1). It clears the previous step just before the next iteration by making a bunch of lines behind the grid to hit the particle limit - that's why it flickers sometimes.
The game board is a 2D list (up to 21x21, displayed on a 10x10 block grid) containing only 0 and 1, with wrapping edges. The wisp will overwrite the board if a new one is received over a link. You can use this script to build that list and write it to a focal port: https://pastebin.com/CXE2Qqff
Macros used: Toroidal Selection Gambit, Perfect Counter's Queue
